Your avatar led me to assume you were a girl when I first saw a post of yours (which I believe was in my welcome thread).Avatar is from comic book called Super Market, meant to represent reflection, confusion, hopelessness.
Avatars trip me up like that. If a guy has a female avatar, it's hard for me not to assume they are female, and if a woman has a male avatar, it's hard for me to not assume they are male.
